No matter how I open something historical-alternative, so depending on the author, I'm waiting for him to write that his version of the ancient world, and preferably its people, are rooted right in … Atlantis and Atlantis. With head and legs. Just forgive God, Jewish enthusiasts are not noticed in this. Well, it's clear there, and so the whole world believes in their God, where else can the Atlanteans be shoved? And the appearance of the Atlanteans was not very Semitic.
Was there? What do we have for Atlantis? And then everyone loves to be called Atlanta, but how to tell, something, so only blond hair and tall stature. Or is it about Torah?
Here are facts from the writings of Plato, based on Socrates. This is the only documented record of Atlantis. Everything else - guesses, places, stories - from other authors - are dreams, hallucinations and fantasies, without direct testimony. There would be no Plato, the dreams and hallucinations of other authors would be about something else.
Plato also has not the first hands, but the closest and cleanest. The Greeks loved the bath.
Plato told us about Atlantis. Greek and philosopher. Around 360 BC. e. many therefore believe that he himself saw the Atlanteans. No, I haven't.
The Greek sage Solon was told about Atlantis by a priest from Egypt, Solon shared the story with a relative, Peisidis, who, in turn, let his son Kritis know about it, who waited a long time, was silent, but at the end of his life he was ripped open and he found out the secret to his grandson - also to Critis, and, finally, Critis number 2 told about Atlantis … no, not to Plato, Socrates.
Socrates, as you know, did not like to write and left nothing behind. I'm talking about essays. But he loved to talk. He broadcasted frequently, in volume and with arrangement. At such moments, Plato caught him with ̶ ̶m̶a̶sh̶i̶n̶i̶s̶t̶k̶o̶y̶.
Socrates told Plato, Aristotle overheard.

And Plato just loved to write down thoughts. Not only their own, but, it seems, all of Ancient Greece. It was he who published, a story that reached Socrates through the centuries. Did you play with a damaged phone as a child? If yes, then, probably, remember that already to the third or fourth person, the meaning is so distorted that sometimes you wonder.
It takes a shock even now, when you read the stories of "historians" about Atlantis, with such details that not every citizen can describe his wife in such detail.
Let's at least see what we know about them before we declare Atlantis as style icons, behavior models and exemplary representatives of the human race! Unless, of course, you are a fan of the graphomania of the grandmother Alice Rosenbaum, who at the beginning of the twentieth century lived on Nevsky in St. Petersburg. If so, then you can do everything - it won't get any worse.
Where did ab̶a̶r̶zh̶a̶ Atlantis sank?
Oddly enough, we have the exact place - the Strait of Gibraltar, between Spain and Africa. Plato accurately points to the straits called the Pillars of Hercules. This is Gibraltar in ancient times.
They dug. We dug a lot. We dived. We dived a lot.
In 2011, archaeologists, digging in the swamps of the Dona National Park in Spain, found something similar to the city.
By the way, the swamps also correspond to Plato: “The sea in this part is unnavigable and shallow. Because of the sunken island"
The swamps did not give in, and the cities were too small, although they were located near the city of Сadiz, which was formerly called Gadis. Renamed, apparently, so that Russian tourists would not laugh.
The name of the city is important because it is very ancient (0.7-1.1 K BC), and the name of Atlas' son was Gadeirus. Do you know who Atlas is? No, this is not about a book with Russian highways.
Who stood on whom?
Even though Atlantis sank in the Atlantic Ocean. I mean, off the coast. None of them are named after each other. Both the island and the ocean were named after one of Poseidon's sons, Atlas. The mother of Atlas and his nine brothers, by the way, was called Cleito. It would be necessary to check if she had her own island in the female anatomy.
This is Poseidon-domestic. It's more patriotic. From the arrow of Vasilievsky Island. Sits on the stock exchange.
Timaeus is, Critias is, as it were, Hermocrates is not
Plato tells about Atlantis in two books - Timaeus and Critias. And the last one ends cleanly, like an important episode of a good series!
“Zeus gathered all the gods in the center of the world. Examined the created. And said…"
Here on the phrase "and said," it ends. And Hermocrates was also in the plans. Thus, we do not have the whole puzzle.
Senior elder
Remember Solon? The one who was the first to be told about Atlantis in Plato's "damaged telephone". There is a murky story about the elders from whom he heard about the island.
It was, as you remember, in Egypt. In the city of Sais. I will not retell it, they were measuring over there for a long time, where the city is older. Here's the conclusion:
Solon himself lived in the area of 600 BC. BC, Sais was founded 8K years before, and Athens, 1K before Sais, had already fought off the attacks of Atlantis. In total, the island would now be more than 11,500 years old.
Modern archaeologists have not found cities of this age. Senior 10K.
Yes, and our historians do not track Athens earlier than 1K BC. e. - documented. And before the II-III centuries BC. - mythologically. Somewhere, someone is lying.
Myth is not a myth? Not about the powder
Retelling various legends in his works, Plato honestly says that myths are fairy tales that symbolize reality. About Atlantis, despite the presence of a bunch of Gods around, he always claims that this story is the pure truth. Albeit with the Gods.
Psychologists suggest that Plato deliberately confused the reader and endure this as an example of "reverse psychology".
Psychologists themselves are often confused in everything and confuse others. Like Plato didn't have a degree in psychoanalysis? Hence, we will consider his words as true.
Imperial Atlantis
Many imagine Atlantis as a separate island with a separate population, exclusive knowledge and, in general, "for all the good against all the bad"
Plato describes Atlantis as an empire that was ruled from an island.
According to our maps, it is somewhere from Tuscany to Egypt.
America is everywhere
Have you forgotten about Solon? So, in Egypt, they described Atlantis to him, almost as a continent.
Many, especially Americans, began to scratch themselves and try on the legend of Atlantis.
There is also (well, like "here" … in 1970. Although in relation to ancient myths, right now) Tour Hierdall, organized a swim on an Egyptian-like raft (without Yuri Loza) Ra 2 from ancient lands in the USA. And swam! In 57 days.
Nevertheless, there are no documentary, or even mythological evidence of such feats in ancient sources.
But, there was an opportunity.
And a galloping horse … And into the burning …
In light of the latest trends in the feminization of society, the Atlanteans were credited with female squads. I don’t know how the Spartans didn’t eat Plato, but he really, something like that broadcast:
Perhaps Plato lacked the goddess in the current sense of the term. If you don’t know, go to … but if you don’t know, then don’t.
Something like. don't think of it as an ad for leather pants.
God's punishment
When the Egyptians tell Solon their ancient story about Atlantis, they also mention that people must be ready for the manifestations of God's wrath.
Like it was more than once, there will be more. In the sense of cleansing the Earth. From mankind. Or, since here and in Atlantis, a woman was considered a man, then a humankind.
There the Egyptians still gave advice. Live, they say, better in the mountains. There, usually, God's wrath is lacking.
Indeed, the earthquake and subsequent flood that engulfed Atlantis looked best through binoculars from the Caucasus Mountains. With chips and Murat Tkhagalegov.
What? Do you find the musical arrangement strange? Think Face would sound better there?
Considering that at the time of her death in Europe, according to scientists, people in skins and with stone axes were still running around, she could be anywhere. At least in your garden. By the way, do you have a garden?
Plato, however, at this time already fancied Athens. Because of this, everything can be attributed to fiction, but modern scholarly historians have done everything so that their words are treated with the same "trust."
Personally, my opinion.
Here I wanted to clarify what we “really” know about Atlantis. Then it will be easier to understand where, who, what invented and why, and why he heard voices of all sorts of Anunaki.
